The Taser Photoshoot, A Portrait Gallery of People Being Willingly Shot With a Taser

The Taser Photoshoot is a gallery of portraits by South Carolina wedding photographer Patrick Hall that captures subjects at the moment of being hit by a Taser stun gun. The shocks were carried out by a friend or partner and Hall captured the reactions of both for good measure.

The person getting tazed was almost always nervous and jittery with either a sense of fear or anxiety. The participants doing the tazing had a different demeanor altogether. Most of them were excited to cause pain to their friend and only showed remorse immediately after executing the shock.
